Man Dog Man

Sorry, I don't write reviews on here I just want to set the record straight. The other review that states Man and Dogman's dog/owner dynamic started AFTER Samson's death is only partially true. It's alluded that Man was in a relationship with Dogman BEFORE they lost Samson, hence the photoset of them together with Samson when he was still alive. They are BOTH mourning.

Anyway, a beautifully-made film, made my heart ache in all the right ways. Common misconception being that Man and Dogman's relationship is rooted in kink really irks me, because it's just not the case. At the very least, it's not implied that it has anything to do with sex.

Julian's portrayal as "Samson" is incredible, his facial expressions and body language really bring it all home for me.

Matthew's performance is perfectly blunt and emotional. It's hard to decipher how he's feeling from his actions. Which is EXACTLY how grief is.

The love Man has for his Dog is apparent, and the love they have for eachother shines through.

Man Dog Man is a short about two men that have a relationship where one of the men role plays being an actual dog. It's alluded to that the man lost his dog earlier on, and afterwards that's when he started this relationship with the man/dog. The movie shows you the dynamics in their relationship.

I don't wanna go too deep into the story because I would honestly spoil the film since it's a rather short movie at a little less than 12 mins. Even with the short length it happens to tell a fun little story that drenches with weirdness. And it feels a little similar to 'Cat Sick Blues' to me. Don't ask me why but it just reminded me of it.

If you like strange shorts I think you should give this one a spin.
